The second most important thing in your life
|
It’s weekend. You’re probably in the couch… and unless you’re reading stuff like this newsletter and review how you can make more money… BAD! You’ve heard me saying it before. The most important decision in your life that will decide most of your chances of success is… Ahh… let me add something. The most important decision that will determine your chances of success and wealth is… The place you live. Yes, sorry. Very simple. Now you wonder, why people all around the world despite Trump and the media saying good and bad things about him and the USA, want to still go to the US. If you live in your home town of 4.100 people… your market is very limited, your providers, your talent pool, the jobs you can access… everything. Limited. Clients and money available to pay for you and/or your services. Very limited. Even if you have good connection to the internet and you dream about a solo freelancering thing. Limited. But let me tell you the second most important thing… And it isn’t what happens to the S&P 500… But, it’s your partner. Yes. The person you marry or stay around with every day. If that sounds dramatic, it’s because it is. But also: it’s math. Married people build 77% more wealth than their single counterparts, according to research published in the Journal of Sociology. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve in the US, married couples had $393,000 in median wealth in 2022. Unmarried individuals: $80,000. Economists say married couples are more likely to own appreciating assets. When you have a partner, you share dreams and realities. You’re merging balance sheets and belief systems, and the ROI can show up in every part of your life: Better financial outcomes Higher net worth More emotional resilience A stronger foundation for your kids Longer lifespan, fewer health issues, lower rates of depression. Logically, if you stay in a small town… the pool of potential partners is quite reduced… Well… if you’re single, time to switch to Tinder or… Click in the link below (also valid for happy married ones)

The system worked perfectly. The satellites tracked the trucks. The software calculated the tolls. The invoices were ready. The gantries were already installed across France. 173 of them. Steel structures over highways, quietly waiting for trucks to pass and pay. The project cost almost €1 billion. It was called the Écotaxe Poids Lourds. The idea was simple. Heavy trucks should pay for using the roads. Especially foreign trucks crossing France. Elegant. Who would say no to such a great idea?...
My wife had been unsuccessful for a while. She tried three times. Her ads expired those three times. $75 the higher bid. She wanted at least 100$ for an almost new bike that our son used 5-10 times max. She published the ads with 100$. The price new: 160$. She told me. I listened. Shall I call the buyer that offered me 75$? No, I said. Increase the price to $120 in the ad. Seriously? But new it’s 160 and this one is almost 2 years old. 120$, go, try. 24 hours later… Sold, 100$. WOW! My...
Alfred Hitchcock had a peculiar habit. He appeared for a few seconds in almost every one of his films. At first it was a joke. Then it became a problem. Audiences started watching the screen obsessively, trying to spot him. They were no longer following the story. They were hunting Hitchcock. So in films like Psycho, he solved it in a simple way. He appeared right at the beginning. Problem solved. Distraction gone. When I review PPP bids, clients always ask the same question. “Vicente…...
